    My man’s complaining about being constantly taken out of the immersion

    Oh, is it asking your pronouns every time you enter a new planet? Every time you boot up the game? Every time you’re introduced to a new character? Yeah, wow, that’s so excessive

    Wait, what’s that, only during the character creation screen and then never again?

    Has your brain been eaten by maggots?

      Dumb question but wouldn’t the game using your preferred pronouns actually add to the immersion?

      Like I guess I play games differently because it doesn’t bother me if I play a boy or girl character but if you are so hung up on the game asking your pronouns it seems like that’s the kind of person that would WANT the game to call them by their pronouns.

        Yeah, of course.

        He’s not actually upset about “immersion”. He is upset because to him, this is a reminder that his side is “losing the culture war” as he feels. That the natural hierarchy, that right-wing ideology is based upon, is being disrupted because those at the bottom of the totem pole are being acknowledged as members of society on the same level as him. This kind of thing is unnatural and unacceptable to chuds.
